1. He said he'd never have thought of it before hand. But in fact that's...

... what the Republicans ended up doing (by their own words).

Leave it to Fox to cast that as some sort of inconsistency.

2. I don't think that's what he said. I did watch him, and although

I don't remember word for word, Barney said he would NEVER have accused the Pubs of making a partisan speech. I know he said they voted because their feelings were hurt and they put their feelings above the financial security of the Country.

4. I saw him speak..

and I think he said it was ridiculous for the Republicans to blame their inability to get 50% of their parties votes because of hurt feelings by what Nancy said.

5. Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., scoffed at the explanation.

"Well if that stopped people from voting, then shame on them," he said. "If people's feelings were hurt because of a speech and that led them to vote differently than what they thought the national interest (requires), then they really don't belong here. They're not tough enough."
